Singing Extravaganza

It was a busy week for the students last week. On the Monday, was Buddha's birthday. The students had no school, except for MoonKkang. MoonKkang is pretty much one of the only schools that is open on National Holidays, and the kids are non too impressed. They even had to come on Children's Day (May5th). On Tuesday, was another holiday, but I don't know what for. All I know is that the students again did not have to go to school, and weren't happy with having to come to English hagwon. It was nice to be back at school though, after being so sick. It was weird, yet good. The students kept asking where I was, and they thought that I went back to Canada. They had the manager teach them one day, and they were SO happy to have me back, because the other teachers are "scary". haha.

Thursday was Teacher's Day. The students give their teacher a present at school. I got a couple, apparently, the students think I need socks as I got four pairs of them. I also got some earrings, and a paper flower. It was very sweet of them. It's all the younger kids, as the middle school students couldn't care less.

This weekend, Lucas and I went to the Ariana Hotel for the all you can eat and drink buffet. It was pretty fun, but I couldn't indulge because I'm still not fully better. THe boys certainly did and were absolutely smashed by 8. Luc kept sticking forks into the cracks in the table. It threw everything off being drunk so early. We ended up going to the Noraebang afterwards too (again, first time for Lucas and I). Noraebangs are infamous Korean singing rooms. Basically, it's a place full of rooms each with a karaoke machine. It was so fun. I was the only sober one in the bunch, but it was pretty wild. We ended up finishing the evening at midnight. Which is pretty sad by hagwon teacher standards. Usually a night will end between 3-6am. As Luc has so proven with his Fooseball night romps.

Yesterday, baseball started again. We weren't doing good. At the end of two innings, we had no points, the other team had nine. It was looking pretty back. We barely had a game because of a lack of players (on both sides). So we recruited some other people, and played. In the end, we made a come back, went into an extra inning, and won the game. Yay!
